This is my armature Joe covered in Sculpey to resemble Edgar Allen Poe. Now, I'm calling him Pojo (Poe+Joe, get it?)
Here's a wide shot of the set.
Here's a closer shot of Pojo by the fireplace.
There is actually a tiny light inside the fireplace so that I can animate it to look like it's flickering.
Here's an overhead shot to show the pegboard stage that keeps Pojo's feet on the ground!
Here's a behind the scenes look at the whole set up.
